Indeed, but there doesn't need to be.  There's not a lot of use for
multiple different "styles" of shadows.  Inset is pretty much the only
one I can think of.

That said, if box-shadow became a shorthand property, inset/normal
would certainly be done by a property of its own.

Who implements box-shadow-style?  Chrome and FF don't, in my quick testing.

I'd rather avoid making shorthands really complex.  ^_^
